FUCK YOUR GUNS

You want to cause disruption in our city?
You want to intimidate people into thinking that your way is the right way?
This is Belfast and you can fuck right off.
I'm proud to be from Belfast and your shootings, bombs and whatever other crap you can come up with will not make the majority back down.

This is our message to those few:

Building the Arsenal

Soon all the pieces will be released back into the wild.
They just have to wait for the weather to improve so they have a chance of remaining in their chosen spot for any length of time.
If you do spot one on your travels, do what you wish with it, add to it, take it home, or take it home and add to it, leave it for others to stumble across, or anything else you can think of.

Here's a couple of new pieces added to the pile...

'follow your heart surgeon' (detail) 2009
acrylic on wood

'follow your heart' 2009
acrylic on wood
approx. 12 x 38 inches

'shit hot right now!' 2009
acrylic on wood
approx. 6 x 12 inches
